This announcement was made in a notice issued by the Chief
Executive of the NUPRC, Gbenga Komolafe, on Thursday.
Additionally, the NUPRC indicated that the National Data
Repository Regulations will also undergo a review.
The commission expressed its intention to engage with
stakeholders to gather their feedback.
“In line with Section 216 (1) of the PIA 2021, which
requires the commission to consult with stakeholders before finalising
regulations or amendments to regulations, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum
Regulatory Commission hereby invites inputs from lessees, licensees, permit
holders, host communities and other stakeholders of the Nigerian Upstream
Petroleum sector, within 21 days from the date of this publication.
“The matters to which this stakeholder’s inputs and
consultations relate are National Data Repository Regulations; Amendment to the
Production Curtailment and Domestic Crude Oil Supply Obligations Regulations
2023,” the notice read partly.
It enjoined stakeholders to download and review the proposed
regulations at https://www.nuprc.gov.ng/regulations- development-pia-2021/.
“Accordingly, submissions of inputs to the regulations are
requested as part of the process of stakeholder’s consultation before
finalisation of the regulations, to give meaning to the intent of the PIA
2021,” the NUPRC announced.
All submissions must be made using the format accessible
